Why is Prado Toyota equipped with Lexus engine?

Many experienced Toyota off-road vehicle friends will feel familiar and unfamiliar. Why do they feel this way?

That's because from the appearance, it will feel like a "Toyota Prado" with Lexus logo, commonly known as "overbearing" model.

From its dynamic parameters, we can feel that its core is a Toyota land cruise ship: a land cruiser.

In fact, this view is correct. On the surface, we can think that Lexus GX series is a Prado with Lexus logo and land cruiser engine.

Why is it so dramatic? Because Toyota thinks that you all call my Prado, Cool Road Ze, lexus LX and Sequoia "overbearing" anyway, I will integrate them.

Lexus GX is actually the backbone of Lexus SUV series, and its positioning is between Lexus RS and LX.

Second, the basic parameters of 202 1 Lexus GX460 (power, space size, configuration)

1, power system

Lexus GX460 is the top version of this series, and the next one is GX400. Compared with GX400 with a 4.0-liter V6 engine, this top model uses a more powerful 4.6-liter V-8 engine with 30 1 horsepower and 446 Nm.

Matching it is the traditional 6-speed automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive system.

Seeing that there are riders here who want to vomit: "This is not the system on the old cruise ship. Do you still use a 6-speed gearbox?"

Aren't all Japanese cars like this? Isn't this so-called old technology the technical stability that the majority of riders have been advocating? This dialectics is not analyzed for the time being. It has been a controversial topic in the automobile industry for many years, and the views are on both sides. For example, a friend of mine, the Toyota Crown, opened in the early 1990s. It may be hard for you to understand that people who own several five-star hotels still have crowns.

2. Space size and off-road configuration parameters

The space size of Lexus GX460 is basically the same as that of Toyota Prado, because its frame was originally based on Prado.

The length, width and height are 4880 * 1885 * 1885mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2790mm, which is not too small for an ordinary SUV model, but if you associate it with a million-class model, you will find that it does not have much advantage in size, especially in the domestic automobile market.

Therefore, it can be seen that space size can not be its main advantage, and it has no advantage in the same level. Technical performance and stability are its core market advantages.

The ground clearance of 2 10mm (one person), approach angle of 22.3 and departure angle of 23.9 will provide the most basic guarantee for its off-road performance. As one of two full-time four-wheel drive and V8 engine models of Lexus, GX is also one of the off-road SUVs in the brand.

III. Technical Highlights of 202 1 Lexus GX460

Lexus GX can surpass Toyota Prado because of its rich configuration and powerful driving assistance function. In other words, in addition to engine performance, it needs more value experience based on the owner to support its price expenditure.

Therefore, 202 1 Lexus GX 460 has also added some new features, which are standard configurations and additional components, including:

Premium and Premium Plus kits offer heated wooden steering wheels.

Silver 18 inch wheels can be used in premium and premium kits.

All types of soundproof front glass

Available premium packages

Added new high-grade decoration.

Amazon Alexa compatibility

The Lexus GX460 top model is also equipped with panoramic monitor, passenger camera and multi-terrain monitor, which supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Polished wood and frosted metal surfaces blend soft plastics and rich semi-aniline leather into the interior. In addition to the optional dual-screen entertainment system, there is also a set of USB ports. The infotainment function provide powerful functions that every luxury need.

Fourth, the price and market prospect of Lexus GX 460 202 1

The pre-sale price of 202 1 Lexus GX460 in the United States is about $53,000, which is another sigh if it is not converted into RMB.

At present, there is no price of 202 1 model in the domestic parallel import market, and the new car will be supplied in the third quarter of this year. According to the price of GX460 currently on sale, it is about 850,000-1.2 million, and the estimated price is almost in this range. After all, the price of the GX400 with a 4.0-liter V6 is already between 84.8 and 946,800.

Is there a big gap? I can't help it That's the truth. Not a fare increase.

The main customer base of Lexus GX is the loyal fans of that group of Japanese cars. If it weren't for iron powder, it is estimated that I wouldn't have spent more than one million yuan to buy a "Toyota overbearing".

Most people still think this GLE and BMW X5 are a little more fragrant, but you can't shake these Japanese iron powders, especially those who are used to playing with large-displacement self-priming models and prefer direct ones, such as a 6-speed gearbox.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) abstract

Speaking of Lexus GX460, some words such as cost performance and fuel economy in the traditional sense need not be mentioned. None of this is the point.

To put it bluntly, Lexus GX460 is an upgraded version of Toyota Prado, or a "steel gun" Toyota land cruiser.

Some people need Prado's body size and the dynamic performance of land cruisers. Toyota can meet your needs, but you have to spend money. In order for you to spend money to applaud, then Toyota's logo is definitely not enough. Then use the logo of Lexus.

This is the case. This is a fact.
